S U B J E C T : Budget Transfers and Appropriations
BACKGROUND:
The 1985-86 Budget includes $5,000 for Professional Services (Account No. 01-116-541)
in the Finance Department. This provides for the annual audit, assistance with the
required Annual Gas Tax and Controller's Reports to the State and general assistance
with our accounting activities throughout the year.
Since we are still developing and fine-tuning our accounting system and procedures,
more assistance is needed than was previously anticipated. The budget had included
only $1,000 (of the $5,000) for this assistance. Another estimated $3,400 is needed to
provide for this service from the firm of Arthur Young and Company.
An unpaid leave of absence was recently authorized for Becky Hoshida, Administrative
Secretary for Parks and Recreation,for a five (5) week period. The responsibilities
of her position will be performed by increased hours for the two part-time clerical
positions and overtime for attendance at Parks and Recreation Commission meetings
and minutes preparation by the Account Clerk (former secretary to the Commission).
There is a need to transfer funds from the two salary accounts used for this position:
01-148-502 (Recreation - Regular Salaries) and 25-147-502 (Parks - Regular Salaries)
to the following accounts:
$700 from 01-148-502 (Recreation - Salaries)
to 01-113-503 (City Clerk - Part-time Employees)
$400 from 25-147-502 (Parks - Salaries)
to 25-147-504 (Parks - Overtime)
The $1,100 is slightly less than the salary that otherwise would have been expended
during this period of time.

The Honorable City Council

On March 6, 1986, the City Council authorized an appropriation not to exceed
$4,900.00 for the demolition of the structures and related work on the site of the
future Community Park. At the time of this authorization I failed to request that
the Council designate from which fund the appropriation would come. The work
can be funded from either the General or Park Improvement Fund. As a necessary
step for the ultimate development of the Park, I recommend that the appropriation
come from the Park Improvement Fund.
As you are aware, we are continuing the selection process for the Director of
Community Development. The City Council recently authorized a salary range of
between$40,000 and $45,000 per year and the assistance of an executive search
firm as needed in the selection process. An additional consideration is a relocation/
moving allowance for the ultimate appointee. The actual amount would depend upon
the needs of a particular candidate and would take into consideration such things as
distance of current residence from Moorpark and length of time until permanent
residency could be established in the Moorpark area. I request that an appropriation
of an amount not to exceed $4,000 be authorized for this purpose. The actual.
amount would be negotiated based upon the actual circumstances of the person
accepting the position.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Appropriate $3,400.00 from the General Fund Reserve to Account No. 01-116-541
(Finance Department - Professional Services) for additional services from
Arthur Young and Company.
2. Authorize transfer of funds as follows:
(a) $700.00 from 01-148-502
to 01-113-503
(b) $400.00 from 25-147-502
to 25-147-504
3. Authorize appropriation of $4,900.00 from the Park Improvement Fund for the
demolition work at the future Community Park.
4. Authorize appropriation of an amount not to exceed $4,000.00 from Account
No. 01-131-502 (Planning - Regular Employee Salaries) to Account No.
O1-131-529 (Planning - Special Departmental Supples and Services) for
moving related expenses for Director of Community Development.
